TIME has named the Top 100 Most Influential Companies of 2026 – and unsurprisingly, the list includes a number of AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google’s Sundar Pichai. But one software giant has been named to the list specifically for how it balances AI with creators: Adobe.
“The company has over 850 million monthly active users, and as part of its AI integration push, it has kept creators – 86 percent of which already use generative AI based on a company survey – in control of their process,” wrote Tharin Pillay, an editorial fellow at TIME.
